Joel Embiid returned to action, but was limited to 24 minutes in Brooklyn's Game 1 upset against the Sixers.

After being limited to 24 minutes in the Philadelphia 76ers' Game 1 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, All-Star center Joel Embiid -- a gametime decision heading into Monday's action -- will return to the starting lineup for Game 2.

Embiid produced a staggering line, given the relatively brief appearance -- dropping 22 points, 15 rebounds, four assists and five blocks -- but struggled to truly impact the action. That allowed Brooklyn to successfully focus their efforts on limiting Tobias Harris and J.J. Redick, which short-circuited the usually effective 76ers offense.
